It’s widely agreed that shoes are a must-have item. But it’s also a high-end commodity, so keep that in mind. To put it simply, it’s a means of communication. For the sneakerhead subculture, it could potentially become a valuable collectible. Furthermore, over $80 billion is spent on footwear each year in the United States, making it the largest footwear market worldwide. Around $1.3 billion of that total comes from sales of athletic footwear. Even though there are many high-end running shoe brands that people are familiar with, such as Nike, Puma, Addidas, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, and many others, there are some brands that stand out. In this piece, therefore, we will be discussing the best shoe brands for women and men too.<\/p>

Top Shoe Brands<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>

Shoe brands with the most memorable logos and names are remembered long after the first interaction with the company has ended. Shoe companies develop a distinct identity over time, one that is recognized not only for the groundbreaking shoes they produce but also for how they do business. People buy shoes not only for their aesthetic value but also for the way they make them feel. Buying a pair of shoes from Toms makes you feel good about yourself because of the company’s exclusive mission. Once you put on a pair of Jimmy Choos, you’ll feel like a true movie star. Here are some of the top shoe brands today.<\/p>

#1. Vans<\/h3>

Paul and Jim Van Doren, two brothers from California, started this legendary skate shoe company back in 1966. In addition, they collaborated with Gordon Lee and Serge Delia. The Van Doren Rubber Corporation was the initial name. The Van Doren Rubber Company made and sold shoes to the general public; they produced and sold 12 pairs on their first day and were ready for delivery by that afternoon.<\/p>

Jim’s son Mark was a skateboarder, and his passion for the sport prompted them to make special shoes for the sport. By the early 1970s, Vans were widely worn by skateboarders. Since Sean Penn sported a pair of Vans Classic Slip-Ons in the film “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” they have become a worldwide phenomenon.<\/p>

Even though they had a hard time in the 1980s, they have now come back to be VF Corporation’s most profitable brand. Furthermore, the corporation is a major backer of the Vans Warped Tour.<\/p>
